I see this happen all the time at my complex. People will pull up with the back of their SUV or truck loaded up with all their trash bags and try to unload as quick as possible looking guilty af the whole time. If you are someone who does this bs so you don’t have to pay your trash bill, you are literal human pieces of shit. Specifically, if you were at Pine Valley Ranch tonight. I got your license plate and will make sure our security has your info.

I just couldn’t believe it when I realized people actually do this crap. Screwing other humans over just so you can save some money is just the lowest of the low. We live here, we pay for these services, and we have overflowing dumpsters because of these clowns.

It’s frustrating because we’re all struggling, and I would love to get to a place financially so I’m in a place to give back and help those in need, and you have people like this who have the opposite mindset. I just don’t get it.

Thanks for letting me vent.

Edit: YES the dumpsters are CONSTANTLY overflowing because of these people. I’m not opposed to cheating the system, BUT NOT AT THE EXPENSE OF MY FELLOW HUMAN. Not sure how this is hard to grasp… If they put SO much trash (and furniture) in the dumpsters every week that I have no room for my two whole bags, then yes, that’s a problem. It’s symbolic of one of the many issues in this country - YOUR problem is now MY problem because YOU’RE too lazy to figure out a better solution and put the work in to solve the problem yourself. It’s that mindset that bothers me more than the actual trash itself, guess I should’ve clarified.

Standing up for vaccines!

Why has the representative Michael Baumgartner not signed the bill to release the list of pedophiles in league with Epstein?

Is Spokane OK with protecting pedophiles? If not write Baumgartner about bill H.RES. 581

I recently ordered some spices from spiceology and noticed they shipped from Spokane and after some digging discovered they are a local company.

Does anyone know if they have a storefront in Spokane or if I can put an order in for pickup to save on shipping? They have free shipping for orders over $50 but I don’t always need that much product.

I love supporting local businesses and happy I stumbled upon them.

Here’s the scoop. My good guy friend bought me a ticket to join him for Saturday’s Pete Holmes show, but I can’t go now due to health stuff.

So now there’s a great dude who’s kind of new to the area who needs a date to the show.

He’s a seriously lovely person who’s a fabulous musician, avid hiker and lover of the outdoors, good cook, and many other qualities (not to mention tall and good looking).

Id love to find him a date for the show, since I had to bail. 🩷

I want a shaggy like wolf cut hair style. I tried a little to do it myself, but I haven't cut my own hair in like 10 years and its not turning out the way I wanted. I have some reference pics for kind of the style I want. I just dont know where to go and I won't go to supercuts or greatcuts or anything like that

If anyone knows of any particular food stands, trucks, or booths at the fair that are vegan or even vegetarian please share!

I’ve lived in Spokane about a year now and have been on the hunt for soft serve ice cream. I’m been unlucky but thought I may ask yall to see if I’m just missing that special spot. I’m look for a basic soft serve chocolate vanilla swirl on a cone maybe some sprinkles. If anyone knows of any place like that within about a 30 minute drive please let me know! Thanks in advance.

Im making almost $20 in phlebotomy but want to make more. Does anyone know of any companies in spokane that offer on the job training or paid apprenticeships? Doesnt have to be medical, can be anything.
